Hours

The University Archives is open Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. with the exception of state holidays. University Archives staff are not available during evening or weekend hours; please contact us to make an appointment if you wish to use our collections during those times.

Researchers are encouraged to call ahead to confirm the schedule or make an advance appointment to access archival material. Due to the size of some collections or because some collections are housed at off-site locations, we may not be able to identify, locate, and retrieve requested materials on a walk-in basis. Please call or e-mail prior to visiting the collection and indicate as much detail as possible about a particular topic and intended use.

Parking

When visiting campus, please contact us regarding parking. We will help you.
